We were a ticking time bomb.
Preparing for the end before we even began
Trying to figure out how we'll call it quits
But making sure to never fall asleep without a goodnight kiss
We were a ticking time bomb
We knew this wouldn't last
Doing 10 mph wondering are we moving too fast ?
Yet we told each other everything
Patched the cuts and healed the bruises
As long as when it got too serious we could distance ourselves with useless excuses
We were a ticking time bomb
Just waiting to explode
Our words and actions never quite matched up
No matter how much we tried it just never felt enough
We were a ticking time bomb
Most of "us" was a mistake
Sleep walking through this
convincing ourselves we were awake
I know you're out there reading this
and I know I came to mind
I'm sorry you can relate
To such a lingering and devastating heartache
